Concept funding was declined

Retrospective 03/12 · Concept funding · July 2025. The letter of 4 July 2025 brought the first funding rejection. The committee had decided against funding on 3 July.

  • The requested concept funding did not materialise. The formal letter gives no specific reason.
  • Separately, my project records contain feedback: the complexity, the clarity of the approach and its market positioning had reportedly been difficult to assess.
  • This retrospective uses the date of the official letter: 4 July 2025. The separate feedback is not assigned a specific date.
  • New versions of the concept were already in the archive before the rejection. Development proceeded in overlapping steps.
  • The idea needed to become more concrete and understandable. A playable space would demonstrate what the gravity mechanic actually made possible.
  • This led to preparations for the next funding application: early-stage funding for a prototype.
